HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Chaga 1000 mg by Double Wood Supplements

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Oct 1, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This supplement contains one active ingredient: chaga mushroom at 1,000 mg per capsule. The rest of what's in the capsule — hypromellose, rice flour, and microcrystalline cellulose — are inactive fillers that hold the capsule together.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Chaga product and its label doesn't state a use — see Chaga's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that chaga works for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or COVID-19. For each of these, the data on file rates it insufficient reliable evidence to rate — meaning the research so far isn't robust enough to say whether it helps or doesn't.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Chaga

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Chaga is generally used in foods and teas, but human safety data are limited and a few risks have been reported. There have been two cases of kidney failure and one case of acute kidney injury linked to heavy chaga use, tied to its high oxalate content — something to keep in mind if you have kidney issues or a family history of kidney stones.

Safety data aren't strong enough during pregnancy or breastfeeding; the advice is to avoid it during both unless you've talked it through with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Chaga

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Chaga.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 327 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

If you take blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelets like warfarin or aspirin), immune-suppressing drugs, or diabetes medications, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting chaga. The supplement is theoretically linked to increased bleeding risk, interference with immune therapy, and lower blood sugar — none confirmed in people, but worth a conversation with your own healthcare provider.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Chaga might be worth considering if you're interested in general immune support and you're not on blood thinners, immune-suppressing drugs, or diabetes medications. If you take any of those, or if you have a history of kidney problems, talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist first.

They can help you decide whether it's right for you and whether it's safe to use alongside what you're already taking.

Chaga 1000 mg by Double Wood Supplements: Common Questions

Does Chaga 1000 mg by Double Wood Supplements interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Chaga 1000 mg has a known interaction with 327 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Chaga 1000 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I have kidney problems?
Chaga contains high levels of oxalate, and there have been cases of kidney failure and acute kidney injury tied to heavy use. If you have kidney issues or a history of kidney stones, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking this supplement.
Is chaga safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to know either way. The recommendation is to avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in these situations.
Does chaga actually help with diabetes or heart disease?
We don't have enough reliable research to say it does. For both diabetes and cardiovascular disease, the evidence we hold rates chaga as insufficient to make a call. If you're interested in trying it for those reasons, ask your doctor what the current research says.
What exactly is chaga, and why is it in this supplement?
Chaga is a mushroom that's been used for centuries in teas and foods. People use it for general wellness, and lab studies suggest it may have immune-boosting properties — though that hasn't been proven in humans yet.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Human safety data are limited. The main concern from reported cases is kidney damage from heavy use, tied to chaga's high oxalate content. Otherwise, most side effects aren't well documented in people.
